Pros

Everything about Netflix is great except for the callers. The management and supervisors are strict about your performance, but never in a negative way. They tell you how it is and never leave you in the dark. Pay and benefits are good for a call center.

Cons

The callers. It's a call center and people LOVE their movies. If they don't get what they want, they will whine and cry even if they didn't read the terms of use. You have to be patient and be the right fit for this job

Pros

Better than average pay Unlimited vacation Free lunch and snacks

Cons

No upward mobility Frequent restructuring Cliquishness ********** Netflix makes no secret about it's high performance culture, which results in a very high turnover. Average life expectancy in this office is about 2 years, which means very often the main knowledge base of a department exists when an employee is terminated (not always for fair reasons) or chooses to leave since there is no room to grow. There are conflicting values and many managers don't practice what Netflix preaches. If you associate with the right people, this can help your career, but it is disappointing that office politics factors so heavily into a company that preaches how different they are from other corporate cultures. Yes, it's great we all get Blackberries or iPhones (and are reachable 24/7) and have a liberal vacation policy, but the aura of paranoia that invades the office due to the frequent restructurings is not conducive to successful business practices.
